Did you know that,
71 years ago, marks the opening of the International military tribunal for the far east, in Tokyo. Twenty-eight military and government officials are accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity. These charges were mainly based on what was later described as the Massacre of Nanking or the Rape of Nanking, about their uses of "comfort women" through the war, and many more war related charges. There was much criticism over the exoneration of Emperor Hirohito, and all of his family who should have also been held responsible for these crimes.
History, needs never be forgotten!
